The Dutch Eredivisie

Swedish media are saying that Rasmus Elm is playing like a god for AZ, they exaggerate I'm sure but how is he doing? don't really have the time to watch the Dutch league.

He is doing really well, you should look to the beautiful assist he gave on Maher in the match against VVV Venlo last weekend. He is extremely good in standard situations. Scores a lot of free kicks and penalties. In Holland there are two main football television shows. One of them always highlights the player of the week. Last week it was Rasmus Elm, totally deserved. But honestly, I think he is not good enough for the top 20 clubs of the world. I think he would be of value for clubs in the subtop of Germany, England and Spain. Last year for example, AZ wasn't playing too good and there were no players who were able to boost the performance and take the team by their hand. This year, AZ is playing very good football and you see that Elm is performing good too.

It's one thing to retailate but to continue kicking while the offender was on the ground is totally out of order. Correct decision by the referee. Ajax 'll most likely be punished for the security breach.

But didn't AZ forfeit the match by leaving? Ajax could/should win by walkover.
Oh, and what's the GK thinking?!

Okay, he probably shouldn't have kept on kicking him, but it's understandable. I mean, imagine standing there as a keeper, and suddenly someone tries to kick you in your back! It's absolutely ridiculous, so I can see why his emotions got the better of him. But sure, he shouldn't have done that.

Edit: AZ said their players didn't feel safe anymore, so it remains to be seen what the KNVB (Dutch FA) decides.

Ajax should be fined and AZ keeper should be suspended. And the supporter should be banned from attending matches.

The 'supporter' will undoubtedly be banned, indeed. I didn't expect something like this to happen here....

It's like everyone in Ajax is doing everything to make the club look ridiculous, from the directors to the fans....

unbelievable!

He should have kicked the thug in the head!

The goalkeeper is surely allowed to defend himself. It doesn't matter if the aggressor gets the beating of his life. It was never a red card, even if the goalkeeper decided to snap his arm.

well done to Verbeek for taking his players off. Stupid referee.

i mean this attacker was 19 y.o and drunk. he is probably an idiot and this is it.

but am i the only one here who have absolutely no love for the goalkeeper? goalkeepers job is not to fucking kick others , no matter if it's other player or a drunk fan. goalkeeper defended himself? are you kidding me? by kicking him while he was down? this is not defending, this is attacking!

the red card is 100% justified. i can't belive they canceled it.

referee, an assistant referee or any other person, is disciplined according to the
nature of the offence committed.

I'm sorry, this looks like self-defense to me (and I'm about as pacifist as they come). It doesn't matter that the keeper has knocked the attacker to the ground- until the attacker is disabled, or others come to restrain the attacker, he is still a threat. You don't give a wacko a second chance to come at you again.

If a person attacks you on the street out of nowhere with a flying karate kick, and you manage to knock them to the ground, you either run like hell, or you continue to subdue the threat (flight or fight). It's instinctive survival. If the attacker were a wild animal or a pitbull (instead of an agro wacko), do you think you wouldn't keep hitting it to keep it on the ground and subdued? Damn right you would, until it turned tail and ran away. Watch the wacko- he doesn't try to escape. He is not subdued. As far as the keeper is concerned, the wacko isn't finished yet.

You can see, once the keeper backs off after security has secured the attacker, he is still on his guard as he senses another person running towards him. Once he realizes it's not another wacko, he finally senses the threat is over and relaxes his guard.

The wacko should be banned? Hell, that's assault, he's going to prison. This is no different than the nutjob who stuck a knife in Monica Seles during a match. Too bad she didn't see it coming- if she had, you know damn well she would have smashed him repeatedly in the face with the metal edge of her racquet until help arrived.

I can't find the other thread.. if you find it.. put this topic with it.


Even though Steve's a shit manager in England.. He's rated VERY highly in Holland.


Steve McClaren tipped to take charge of FC Twente for a second time

The former England manager Steve McClaren will return to FC Twente to replace Co Adriaanse who was sacked on Tuesday, according to reports.

McClaren won the Dutch league title with the club in 2010. Twente are currently third in the Eredivisie.

The 50-year-old McClaren has been jobless since leaving the Championship club Nottingham Forest in November.

The 64-year-old Adriaanse, who took charge of the club last summer, leaves with FC Twente in third spot in the standings but having lost their last three matches of 2011 in the Europa League, Eredivisie and KNVB Beker Cup.

A club statement read: "Co Adriaanse, the coach of FC Twente, is leaving the Enschede club. FC Twente have terminated his contract with immediate effect.

"The chairman Joop Munsterman will explain the departure later today."

The coaching assistants Alfred Schreuder, Boudewijn Pahlplatz and Youri Mulder will provisionally take charge of training, the club announced.

Couldnt stop laughing after reading this!

KNVB refers to gay people by Ajax
Telesport of our Editorial
Amsterdam - The KNVB has Kristiaan Schimmel, chief editor of the website Gay.nl, referred to Ajax.

Fungus is that during the cup match between Ajax and AZ also welcome gay men in the ArenA. The Amsterdam arrived earlier with the proposal that only women and children may be present at the match replayed after the famous incident with AZ goalkeeper Esteban on December 21.

The Dutch Football Ajax previously asked for a plan to deal with conditions that the success of public-friendly action should guarantee. They should put such a position be taken on admission prices. It is now Ajax in the KNVB to possibly gay men in the Management Plan.

Feyenoord 2 - 1 Ajax at half-time
Goalscorers: Eriksen, Guidetti (2)

Eriksen's goal was a real beauty, a fantastic effort. Guidetti's first was from the penalty spot, and the decision was cheap.

Apart from that, it's so annoying to watch Ajax because they have two Eriksens... Christian and Luuk De Jong.

Oh and now it's 3-1 by someone named Bacau or something similar. A very good finish.
